Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 42:1
Theological / DevotionalHart. Heb. ’ayyal, “male deer,” probably to be written ’ayyalah, “a female deer,” to agree with the verb “panteth,” which in the Hebrew is feminine.
Verses 1–6 constitute the first stanza of the elegy.
Panteth. Heb. ‘arag, “to long for.” ‘Arag occurs only here and in Joel 1:20, where it is translated “cry,” but where it should probably have the same meaning as here.
My soul. Or, “I” (see on Ps. 16:10).
